Here is a quick guide to exactly what you can do to make sure that your employees are not only saying nice things about your company behind your back but also that new employees would choose your workplace over your competitors.
#1 Care for your current employees
How you treat the ones who are currently working for your company and doing everything they can for you to be successful will determine how attractive your workplace is.
If you’re the kind of boss who takes no interest in them, gives your team an unreasonable amount of work with strict deadlines, and refuses to be flexible on their working hours, the word on the street simply won’t be in your favor.
You’ll start to notice rather quickly that people jump ships quite soon – and job offers might even be turned down as the brightest heads are offered jobs at a more attractive workplace. Think about what kind of boss you are to your current employees, treat them with respect, and they’ll praise your company in return.
#2 Make it easy to work
While you might be the friendliest and most flexible boss ever, it’s not going to help much if you don’t make your employees’ days at work as easy as you can. A stingy boss can still be a friendly boss, you know, so make sure that you give your team the tools to succeed.
